Articles to include advance notice provisions with respect to election of directors (the “Advance Notice Provisions”). The Advance
Notice Provisions, among other things, fix a deadline by which shareholders must provide notice to the Company of nominations for
election to the board of directors and such provisions require nominating shareholders to provide specified information in respect

elected.
